See SWNS story SWSAND: A romantic boyfriend asked for his girlfriend's sand in marriage - by writing out his proposal in 15ft letters on a BEACH. Loved-up Jeremy Curtis, 39, scouted remote coastal spots across the UK before coming up with the ideal location. He then enlisted a team of volunteers to help carve the massive message in the dunes - complete with giant love hearts. Girlfriend Jennifer Ayris, 31, spotted it from a clifftop overlooking Petit Port beach on the Channel Island of Guernsey and immediately said yes.

Simply proposing on bended knee wasn’t enough for Jeremy Curtis, aged 39, from Fulwood - who asked girlfriend Jennifer Ayris, 31, to marry him using giant 15ft letters written on a beach.

Jeremy scouted coastal spots before finding the ideal location on Guernsey, and recruited helpers to write the letters with rakes. The couple were holidaying with Jeremy’s family to celebrate his mum’s birthday, and the surprise was sprung during a clifftop stroll. Jennifer said yes - and they plan to tie the knot next year.
